GOOD MORNING ‘HEADS! Just stopping by to wish all youse dads/ grandads/uncles and dads to be a very HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!! Hope youse are spoiled rotten by the wife (if ya have on of those) the kids, the significant other (only if you don’t have a wife)!!!!

He’s a proud man and he wants his $. His playing career is probably over. He should retire and take a job in the organization…like as an assistant coach. Pay him the same money. Who cares? I would love that. Then he gets his $5m and he’s off the cap…I think it makes sense if he’s really physically unable to play…that would be a good move for all intents and purposes…

I don’t think Dreary’s career is over. There’s a lot of teams that I’m sure would love to have him.

Now, his playing career as a multimillion dollar player, in my opinion, is definitely over. He’ll have to play for what he’s really worth. But. he can still play the game, and be effective on some level.

Orr – That’s exactly why I don’t get the people bagging on him. Before the news about his knee, Detroit was licking their chops over Drury. Team-first guy who’s great on the PK, great around the net and would cost less than $1.5 million. I’m sure the knee problem just about killed that prospect. I’m sure if he had his choice, he’d probably want to come back and play for the Rangers. But if it were between getting bought out and retiring, I’d guarantee he’d take the buyout and keep playing hockey. For many of these guys, playing in the NHL is a dream come true and it’s tough for most of them to let it go. Just look at how many guys try comeback after comeback even in the twilight of their careers. For Drury, the knee issues are probably a crushing blow and giving him a real difficult choice: Endure a summer’s worth of surgeries and no guarantee you’ll ever be able to play again or just hang it up. Though I wish I was lucky enough to be in a position to make that call, I still wouldn’t want to make it.

orr, ya know the worst glitch on nhl 11 is if you put the penalties on authentic, you usually gt called for hitting a guy more than twice after the whistle. but at least half the time, the othr team will hit my guy repeatedly, and i’ll get the penalty. my player can just stand there not moving and gt hit like 4-5 times, and i’ll get a penalty. also if the opposing goalieplays the puck an passes it to a teammate but hemiss it and the puck is coming straight for my playe, i can ever get it and shoot it. it just goes right through my player!.

L3WH – Making up the gibberish that “Chris Drury, led the Rangers in blocked shots,” (at some point), is like my saying that Woody Allen beat Mark McGwire in an arm wrestling contest. Try dealing with FACTS and REALITY, at some point. Being an “agitator” doesn’t become you.

He had flukey injuries. He broke some fingers, it healed, he came back, and broke more fingers, then his knee was all screwed up. It was a flukey year. It’s not like that’s going to happen every season for the remainder of his career.

Yeah, two games at his price isn’t good, but that doesn’t mean he should retire.

Maybe I’m being too defensive, but, I’m just willing to let a few things slide, now that he’s in his final year, and he’s playing a limited role, I don’t see why everyone is so against him.

He’s not Blowzy, or Dredden. Those two were detrimental to the team, as opposed to Dreary who is not liability on the ice.

All he is, is an overpaid guy. But, as I’ve said hundreds of times, he’s in the final year of his contract, so there’s no much to complain aboot. Who’s he taking a roster spot away from?? Anyone significant?

Honestly, I trust Dreary on the ice *way* more than I would a rookie 4th liner, and there’s 29 GM’s that probably agree with me.

LOL! You think he was a poor choice as Captain? Who would make a better Captain? Blowzival? Dredden? Naslund? Zherdev? Blowmez? Fritsche? Avery? Dawes? Potter? Voros?

Ugh! What a depressing team that was!

Yeah, you could give Callahan the “C”, or Dublowsky, Stahl, etc. But, giving them that letter wont make them any better. If anything it will put too much pressure on them, and make them worse!

If I were the coach, I wouldn’t give anyone a letter. True leaders don’t need letters to lead!

Not wishing to prolong this fascinating debate about Captain Clutch’s shot-blocking abilities, but I posted a screenshot of the official stats from NHL.com, so it beats me how that is “made up gibberish”. In my book, they are FACTS and REALITY.

If your personally recorded stats say something completely different, then I apologise for not having those in my possession.
